Someone you love is dying -- Why me? Why anyone? (Facing death at 25) -- What do you tell a dying person? -- I never lost my sense of humor -- Experimenting with miracle cures (Where there's life) -- Is pain necessary? (It might be cancer but I feel good) -- Helping out -- It's harder for the family -- An ending or a beginning? (Life after death) -- Overcoming the fear of death -- Planning ahead : wills, finances, and funerals -- Dying at home -- Bereavement -- Meditations -- A summing up

This is a guide not only to dealing with the death of loved ones, but an exploration of facing one's own death, designed to amplify and challenge one's own perception of both the dying process and death itself
